A software bug will start a small war. And a EULA clause will end another one.
You will be completely transparent and documented for everyone else to see. You will not have sufficient permissions to find out anything about anyone with any power over you.
Most applications will incorporate blockchain technology; but bitcoin will be the subject of jokes and nostalgic pop culture trivia questions.
